The #1 Problem With Local Campaigns is Inconsistent Citations.We will fix it all for you and get you ranking!

Why Local Citation Remediation?

After reviewing 1000’s of Local SEO Campaigns, we’ve seen it time and time again: The biggest factor that holds you back from getting awesome results in local is having incorrect or inconsistent citations. This is the #3 negative ranking factor according to David Mihm’s (SEOMoz) most recent ranking factors survey (1).

This can happen for a number of reasons:

You move and get a new address

You get a new phone number

You have variations of your name

Aggregators just pick up incorrect information about your business and display the incorrect NAP.

This can result in big problems and paralyzed rankings. Each citation you have is a “vote” for you to rank higher. If these votes are going to different NAP combinations, there’s no way you can collect the juice you need to rank higher

How SearchHook Local Citation Clean Up Works?

Step 1:
Local Citation Audit

Every order starts with a complete audit of existing citations. We don’t just fix a set list of sites, we actually look at your entire profile and determine every single incorrect citation out there and document it.

Step 2:
Manual Outreach & Contact

Since every citation source is different, we created an internal Standard Operating Procedure for each site so we know the best protocol for getting your citations corrected. Some listings require manual contact via email, so we set up an email on your behalf and document all communications.

Step 3:
Correct Citations

With our honed process, we are able to fix 70-90% of citations within our small time window. We’ll keep track of your entire campaign for you by constantly monitoring the sites for the requested changes and updating tracking sheet along the way.

Step 4:
Delivery Report

After 4-6 weeks and up to 3 rounds of manual contact, we’ll deliver a report with all the citations that we corrected, including any parting recommendations.
